Date: Mon Jun 7 12:07:27 1999
TPUG AND TAF JOIN FORCES FOR A DAY OF EXCITING BARGAINS IN TORONTO!
The Toronto Pet Users Group (THE support group for users of Commodore's
PET, VIC 10/20, 64 and 128, and the Amiga) and Toronto Atari Federation (North
America's largest user group for the Atari enthusiast) are holding a joint Flea
Market at the Alderwood United Church, 44 Delma Drive in Toronto, Ontario,
Canada on Saturday June 19th from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. If you own any of
these classic computer systems and have been looking for hardware or software,
or you have systems or software that you'd like to sell, now's your chance. Sell
your old stuff, go home with a treasure!
The days of rivalry between the two competing systems are over, and users of
both these platforms realize that it is better to cooperate rather than to butt
heads. And indeed, with the Amiga's strengths in audio and graphics, and the
ST/TT/Falcon's strengths in MIDI and DTP (not to mention the fact that both
platforms make excellent and cheap machines for getting on and making use of the
Internet) there is much that can be learned and shared between the two
platforms by their respective users.
TAF will be there with copies of ST+ Fanzine for sale and with a number of
Mario Becroft's excellent new products for adapting PC serial mice, VGA/SVGA
adaptors and internal IDE drives to Atari STs (the Mouse Adaptor also works with
the Amiga, so if you've got an Amiga with a dying mouse here's your chance to
use one of the many excellent two and three-button mice available to the PC with
your system), as well as info on how to join TAF.
It's going to be an exciting summer - and this will be the event to kick it
off! See you there!
TORONTO ATARI FEDERATION meetings are held on the third Wednsday of the
month from Sept-June in the "Gold Room" of the North York Memorial Hall located
in the lower or concourse level of the North York City Centre Library Building
at 5110 Yonge Street (next to Mel Lastman Square) at Parkholme Avenue. Those
coming by public transport can take the TTC Yonge Line north to North York
Centre Station. $2 for non-members. Dues are $25 per year, and includes a
subscription to the newsletter PHOENIX. Membership in TAF IS Atari support!
